Star Citizen in 2017 earned more than any other Kickstarter game - together
There are a number of burning mysteries on this world, such, how old is Tommy Wiseau, what tells us Voyniche's handwriting and who donates the amount of money to develop the game we know as Star Citizen. This space simulation has so far raised more than 175 million dollars through the crowdfunding method, actually like that people have literally thrown money at Chris Roberts and his team.
Out of that amount 34.9 million dollars was collected during 2017, which means that Star Citizen raised more money than all other Kickstarter games - together. To make things even worse - this is not the first time for him, but for the second year in a row.
However, in the result is not counted as to how much money makers of Star Citizen had to refund to unhappy buyers, and these certainly was because the team last year constantly were delaying the release of alpha build version 3.0. On the other hand, it can be said that earnings are for the first time smaller because for the game development year before was raised a million dollars more.
